Carolina Panthers’ quarterback Jake Delhomme is having a season he’d like to forget, and things got even worse on Sunday at home against the Buffalo Bills. Despite dominating the Bills on the stat sheet, Delhomme threw three interceptions that allowed Buffalo to take a 20-9 victory over the struggling Panthers. Delhomme threw for 325 yards, though without any touchdowns. His three picks pushed his total for the year to 13 which leads the NFL.

Buffalo rewarded NFL pointspread players with the outright victory as +7 road underdogs. The Bills have covered four of their seven games this season, while the Panthers have an awful record against the spread-they’ve only covered once this season for a 1-5 ATS mark. The 29 combined points went UNDER the posted total of 37. Buffalo has gone UNDER in 4 of 7 games this season while Carolina evened their NFL totals mark at 3-3.

The Bills’ Terrell Owens was again a non-factor, but gave Credit »”>credit to the defense for earning the victory:

“You can’t really complain about a win. Defensively, those guys are keeping us in ballgames.”

Buffalo defensive end Chris Kelsay commended his team’s confidence on the road:

“Never once on the sidelines was there any doubt that we were going to win the game. Regardless if it’s an ugly win over not, it’s hard to win in this league.”

Ryan Fitzpatrick started at QB for Buffalo in place of the injured Trent Edwards and was solid, if not spectacular. Coach Dick Jauron observed:

“He made the plays when we had to make them.”

Panthers’ coach John Fox has said he’s going to’re-evaluate’ whether the struggling Delhomme should continue to start, and even the quarterback himself couldn’t make an emphatic case that he should keep his job:

“In my heart, yeah, but I mean let’s be honest, I don’t think I’m a dummy. When you’re not playing well offensively, you always have to look at the quarterback.”

The Panthers’ schedule doesn’t get easier this week as they head west for a game against the improving Arizona Cardinals. Carolina is a +9 road underdog with the total set at 43′. They’ll head south the following week to face the red hot New Orleans Saints before returning home on November 15 to take on the Atlanta Falcons. Buffalo will host the Houston Texans this weekend, with the game currently off the board due to injuries on both teams. They’ll have their bye week after that and will return to action on November 15 against the Tennessee Titans.

It doesn’t matter if you are the bridesmaid or maid of honor, if you have to write a speech it can be really hard at times. That is why I now have gathered these 5 golden tips for you, so you can have it a lot easier when writing your wedding speech. These tips should give you a good idea about what to put in your wedding toast, to make the bride, groom and everybody else at the wedding happy.

Tip 1: Starting on your speech

The beginning of your toast is crucial; you have to make a good impact on people, and when you start on your bridesmaid wedding speech, they have to immediately know who you are. Therefore it’s a very good idea to begin with introducing yourself, and how you know the bride and the groom. Make sure there is no doubt about who you are, before you start speaking about the bride.

Tip 2: Be careful with humor

Humor is a killer in every bridesmaid wedding speech; but be careful. It would be very bad to over-do this part of you speech, as you can easily embarrass or humiliate the bride, groom or maybe some guests. Also keep it sober for the kids, grandparents and other guests.

Tip 3: Be nice to the groom

When the best man makes his toast, he will usually take some time off to compliment the bride. Make sure you do the same thing, to show that the bride have found a great husband, and to show that you really support the bride in her marriage.

Tip 4: Its not your day, but the bride’s

Now the most important job for you, as a bridesmaid, is to act and speak on behalf of the bride. If there are many guests at the wedding, they will not see the bride all the time, but they will see a lot of the bridesmaids, and that is why you need to act and speak on behalf of the bride. Make sure everybody knows how happy she is on her big wedding day.

Tip 5: Be a bit nostalgic

Now this is really important, if you want to write the perfect bridesmaid wedding speech. You have to tell a story, which is funny and cozy, so it can move people. It could be from the beginning of the relationship between the newly-weds, where you learned to know the groom, or something like that.

Have you ever watched a roller coaster and thought to yourself, “Why don’t the cars fly off the tracks?”Have you ever been on a roller coaster and wondered how the train stays on the track?

If so, you’re far from alone. There are several explanations as to why roller coaster trains stay on their tracks.

On top of the rails are the train’s running wheels on which the train cars run. Further more the wheel assemblies on their axles go on both sides of each rail, so that they “hug” the rails.And if that weren’t enough, the guide wheels on wooden roller coasters are on the insides of the rails. But on steel rails the guide wheels might be either on the inside or the outside.The wheel assemblies have guide wheels in the middle of the assembly. These wheels help prevent lateral (side to side) motion.

And finally, there are special wheels underneath the rails called upstop wheels that prevent the trains from lifting off the rails.

But the most important reason roller coasters don’t go off the tracks is that the curves and turns are banked properly so that the gravitational force in combination with other forces acting on the train are balanced so that the wheels stay on the tracks as a result of the sum of all the forces acting on them.

Because of the shape of a loop, the g forces necessary to hold the train on the tracks are low enough that the human body can withstand them without physical harm. But to be sure, those g forces are strong enough to give people quite a thrill!When a coaster does a loop and goes upside down, the loops are specially designed to have the tightest radius at the very top of the loop and to have much larger radii at the entrance and exit of the loop. This gives roller coaster loops a shape very much like that of a regular helium balloon.

The “sticking power” that keeps roller coaster trains on their rails can be mostly attributed to the laws of physics - specifically the law of gravity.
